I think that, um, the thing that I've been amazed at, like one of the big things that that's happened, is: uh, a lot of people are like: well, therapists are going to hate you, and then what we find is every therapist that we talked to is like.
Ever felt like the mental health care system is just too hard to navigate? Tim Desmond did, and he decided to do something about it. In this episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', host Jay Shifman sits down with Tim, a therapist and author, to discuss his innovative solution: Peer Collective. Tim saw a gap between those needing mental health care and the limited number of professionals available to provide it.
Instead of accepting this as the status quo, he created Peer Collective to offer affordable, peer-based counseling. It's a game-changer for those who feel left out by traditional therapy methods. Tim shares his journey, including how mindfulness played a crucial role in his own life and in founding Peer Collective. He also talks about the limitations of traditional therapy and why peer counseling can be a powerful alternative.
If you're curious about new ways to approach mental health care or just want to hear an inspiring story of someone making a difference, this episode is for you.
